Governor calls out contractors, asks companies willing to help to contact FDOT

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. - Gov. Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi are calling out debris removal contractors who are not acting in good faith in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.

"This week, I have heard from many local communities from across the state that believe they are being price gouged by debris removal contractors," Scott said Thursday in a statement. "Many mayors have told me there are companies not following contracts by removing debris. We will not tolerate any attempt by businesses to take advantage of our communities during their time of need, especially in the wake of a natural disaster like Hurricane Irma."
